Hi! I would like to clarify the description of the four climate types in the Philippines. In the PAGASA website under "Climate Projections" (https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/information/climate-change-in-the-philippines), a type III climate is described as having a SHORT DRY SEASON from February to April in the text; HOWEVER, in the picture of the climate map referenced (Fig 16), Climate Type III is described as having NO PRONOUNCED SEASONS but is relatively dry from November to April. May I ask which of the two descriptions is correct and more up to date? Thank you.
